My Sunday
So Sunday was a mix kind of day for me. I slept in, even though I should have gone to training... oops :-P Then went out to do some tag saleing and Geocaching. Picked up a TV stand for $15. Made 3 finds in West Springfield. But in that hiking I realized that my boots where just shot. (When you can feel every twig and rock you step on through hiking boots, means it is time for a new pair) So I went to the dreaded wal-mart :-P It was on my way between where I was and the next area I wanted to cache in. But met up with Crystal for she was on her way there too and she helped me pick out boots. lol ultimately I ended up just buying a pair of the same ones again. "I didn't like the others... they where all too flat" Sorry random Python joke in there.

Well got into my jeep at the wal-mart parking lot, turned the key... nothing. Starter is dead shot. Crap. Well low and behold, I had some minor starter issues back when I bought the Jeep 2 years ago. My mechanic suggested that I buy a new starter, leave it in the jeep, and when it blows he'll come fix it. Well probably about a year ago I took it out of the Jeep because I didn't think I was going to have the problem. Ok... I'm in Westfield, Mechanic is in Southwick, I life in Agawam, and new starter is in Granville. How the hell was I going to do this? Well attempted to call Mother, but of course she failed to know where her phone was. My mechanic has no problem fixing it, but would rather not do it in the parking lot of wal-mart. Well luck was on my side for once and after about the 60th time of turning the key, the starter kicked and it roared with life again! Drove all the way up to Granville, got the starter, down to Southwick, got it replaced, and sadly by this time it was getting dark, so no caching for me. Which sucks. But hopefully I'll find time to get out again soon.

You failed to mention that it took you an hour to pick out the boots and that you had five different pairs you were trying to decide between. =D Hehe.

That sucks. Wish I could have helped. But I didn't even know. Just drove out of the parking lot. And why haven't you signed up with AAA?

Well pain in my ass. I haven't signed up because that requires money. Anyways, they wouldn't have been able to help me in this situation anyways. AAA is not always the answer ;)

And you were headed to work, so even if I told you, you could have done nothing about it.

Yes I could. They were going to let me leave to go help you the time your belt broke :-P I would have just told them what happened. Either that or told them it was my jeep having the issues.
